Steel, ever-evolving material, has been the most preeminent of all materials since it can provide wide range of properties that can meet ever-changing requirements. In this course, we explore both fundamental and technical issues related to steels, including iron and steelmaking, microstructure and phase transformation, and their properties and applications.

From the lesson

Microstructure and phase transformation in steels III: Role of alloying elements in steels

Material design based on alloying is covered in this course. Role of alloying elements in steels with respect to the control of microstructure and mechanical properties will be discussed in detail. Influence of alloying elements on phase stability, transformation kinetics, and strengthening of steels is discussed.
